I admire and respect George Takei in so many ways, and this interview demonstrates one of the reasons why this is so….to choose the location of the Japanese-American museum allows him to educate younger people who may never have heard about the imprisonment of so many innocent Americans. Takei’s sense of humor is truly brilliant, and I used to follow him on Facebook for years before I decided to stop using it. I really admire the way he uses incisive humor to lampoon bigots, while educating people at the same time. He’s an amazing activist, actor, and human being!
I've heard George describe his childhood experience as his family experienced the "containment camps". Absolutely heart-wrenching. Amazing how they persevered through an incredible time. Nobody deserves to be treated like that not to mention they were American citizens too. What a class act. To coin a phrase, fascinating.
Uncle George is beloved. In addition to Star Trek, he has a body of works that includes a brutally honest and heart stopping episode of Twilight Zone! It is superb. Thanks Uncle George!
George T. is not only a fine actor but a remarkable man in my opinion. He could have easily done nothing with his life, given all the bad cards he was dealt, but he persevered and made something special of his life. He has lived and thrived in the American Experience, despite again all the challenges he encountered. and overcame
Once I was watching “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen when George was the interviewee. At that time, you could send suggested questions for George earlier in the week, in the hopes that your question would be one of the few chosen. I asked “What was it like filming ‘The Green Berets’ with John Wayne?” George really lit up as he described how Wayne was as gracious and kind as could be to him throughout filming. He also said that John Wayne was the first person ever to refer to him as “Captain Sulu”.
These interviews with the ST cast are brilliant. This one and the one with John de lancie are my favourite. What makes them good is there not promoting a new movie or anything but looking back at there lives and careers.
I just love his voice. He is so amazing.
I have so much respect and admiration for George. Just a WONDERFUL human being! Thanks so much for posting. 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦❤️
A wonderful, moving interview with Mr. Takei.
A truly wonderful man. A great actor, and a great human being.
Pleasantly surprised that George talked so politely about Shatner. Also his childhood stories are touching and sad. I'm not a big fan of his, but this interview is very nice. Thank you.
His voice is... amazing! It' s so captivating. Oh My 😆
Such an intelligent, thoughtful man. Handles a narrative so well - so many experiences well told.
Such a powerful story, my heart is enlarged thank you, LAN and George Takei
Great voice love listening to him speak. Great actor too.
He has the best voice on Star Trek.
